(Destiney is mostly happy where she is currently. I say mostly because she is still working through some problems. However the causes of those problems she no longer wishes she could change cause then she might have ended up somewhere else entirely then with the people she now calls family.)

Destiney runs her fingers over the rune carved into the light green stone. Eyes drifting away from it for a moment to the small handheld harp on the table. She reaches over an trails her fingers softly over the strings. It had been around three years. Still she held on to them as if it was the same as him still being here with her. She clutches the stone to her chest an takes a shaky breath. No tears came though. She missed him but… She had cried enough the day she lost him. Now these physical items were more of a comfort then a sadness. Something else had upset her today an she had come to her room just to be near these items. To remember his warmth an presence. He had always been able to make her feel calm again.

(No. Lance isn’t truly happy where he is right now. For various reasons. Though his life has gotten a bit brighter then the never ending winter of Coerthas and Ishgard. Leaving Ishgard territory to follow his cousin around has proven to be a change for the better. So he’ll eventually find a way to be completely happy.)

(Lance doesn’t really have anything he holds that is significantly important. Not physically anyways. Coming from an upper class family he put less value on objects then memories. Maybe eventually but for now no.)

(Of course she isn’t happy. But that doesn’t stop her from trying to find happiness. For her that would be finding a good team of mercenaries to take her in. Oh an being successful. She wants a better life. It’s a part of the reason she ran away from home. She wasn’t happy then an she still isn’t happy yet. But she knows she’ll get what she wants eventually. If she doesn’t run out of patience first.)

(She has one item she keeps regardless of everything in her life. A simple gold ring. It used to belong to her mother at one time when she was little. Her mother passed away and she kept the ring close. So even if she and her father are currently at odds, that ring never leaves her hand. If anyone tries to take it they better be ready for one hell of a fight. She’ll go all out to get that ring back or to protect it. It’s the only thing she kept when she left home.)

91. What is their sense of humor like? (Lancefer), 69. Is there anything that they find really gross? (Destiney), 8. What’s the weirdest thing they’ve ever eaten? (Karigan)

(His sense of humor is about average. He will sometimes make jokes but rarely does pranks. Doesn’t really do running jokes with puns. So his cousin is actually the one with a better sense of humor. However he tries to avoid joking around with people he barely knows, afraid of offending someone accidentally.)

A panicked scream. A flurry of movement. Destiney was bolting back away from the repulsive creature as her allies moved in to the fight. A Pudding had tried to sneak up on the group from behind.

“KeepItAway! KeepItAway!” Destiney rambled off as she hid behind the rest of her team. “Ew ew ew! It touched me!” She frantically rubs the sleeve of her jacket across the bare skin of her leg where the creature had touched her for just a moment.

(Anything slimy! Slimes, Puddings, Octopus, Toad tongues. 😛 If it leaves a slimy feeling behind by touching her she is going to freak out an panic.)

“Uh…” She hesitates at the question, ears flattening against her head. “I can’t turn down food even if it’s weird. When you spend some days living off what meager stuffs ya got then you rarely turn down food. But the weirdest so far is Tree Toad Legs. I don’t much like the stuff. But as I said, food is food.”

“Crystal ball? Those things really exist? I don’t believe much in fortunes ya. I make my own luck.Though I guess to answer…” Her tail swishes idly behind her as she taps a finger against her cheek. “If I had to know one thing… I would really like to know how bloody long it is going to take me to find a decent mercenary group to take me in. I means I am trying my hardest. Yet it never seems enough to prove myself to those sluggards.”

“Someone close to me? Anyone?” She puts a hand to her chin in thought. “Well there is a Miqo’te Seeker. She is almost like the cross between a best friend and a mother. She always seems to know what to say an how best to deal with me in the most turbulent times. Not to mention a wonderful cook. She makes the best dinners for the rest of us. Always kind and patient. Protective of us all. I couldn’t think of anyone better to have as my commander in this group of crazy individuals.”

( @sunshineandlotus cause it’s Dest’s opinion on Rhisi.)

“Ah… That is not too terribly difficult of a question. Right now the closest person I have is still Lady Miu. She has been a blessing from Halone herself to me I believe. I was out there in the rest of Eorzea after never setting foot beyond Ishgardian territory before I found her. Despite things not working out for us romantically… She is still my summer sun. She offered her help with barely having to ask. She is kind-hearted and deserves so much better then the hand she has been dealt. I still hope the best for her and her daughter both. An wish I could do more for them.”

( @michisilver for Lance’s choice.)

handwriting: if you were about to die, and you could only say one more sentence to one person, what would you say and to whom?

“Really… To limit me so… The choice…” She frowns in frustration before waving a hand dismissively. “Then again I would rather not think of such a depressing idea at all. The whole idea is ridiculous at best.” She turns away and crosses her arms, clearly annoyed for the moment.

A heavy sigh, not turning back around. “My husband. I would tell him the same things Leon told me as he died. That he should live his life to the fullest and find happiness again even after I’m gone.”

converse: would you ever have a deep conversation with a stranger and open up to them?

She laughs merrily for a moment before smiling. “Well then. I guess this has already answered itself for me. Well not for the one asking the question. Yes I would depending on how I felt about that person upon meeting. It has proven… Beneficial if I find the person to be comfortable enough to speak to. Nate was just a stranger once. A guest who had stopped by the Order’s house. I don’t open up to everyone. Some just… Seem to have that air about them that I find I can trust them even with the darkest parts of me. Nate was one of those. An it has led to a very wonderful friendship between us.”

image

“Truthfully? Probably not. A deep conversation yes. An most of my feelings I tend to be open an honest about. However… There are parts of who I am that I keep secret from even those I am close to. I am supposed to be the knight. The protector. A man hiding behind a mask and keeping people at a certain distance.” A wry laugh escapes him before he shrugs casually. “However with the right person? Maybe. Though I’m not sure if I would recognize the right person. So many years trying to be an do what my family thinks I must do. My attempts to be who I want to be instead of who they want. Maybe I am best being married to my life as a knight.”

image

“Not right away no. Maybe not at all.” She  crosses her arms, tail swishing behind her casually. “I’m not ready to discuss certain parts of my life. I’d rather forget they ever happened. Besides! Who wants to know about the past ya? The past is the past. Forget about it.”

daisies: what is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

“Greatest accomplishment…” She muses quietly as she gets up from the sofa to pace about the living space of her house. She pauses an sighs heavily. “I’m not sure I’d call it a great accomplishment. Not like achieving the rank I have among the Flames. But… I’d have to go with realizing I don’t want to die anymore. It took me time to get to that point in my life after so many years. Something I might not have managed without those in the Order. Yet I also still have so much room to grow and heal. So I’m sure I can find something else to top that with time.”

image

“I have no greatest accomplishments. Not yet. At least not in my eyes. I have survived the fall of the Steel Vigil while others did not. My job has become my life. Surviving the day to day dangers of Coerthas is about the best I can say. Yet that does not mean I have given up trying. I am still young with much life left to go unless Halone calls me back to her hallowed halls. I am putting my life to as much use as I can to help Haillenarte and those I care about. Maybe someday I will have an accomplishment worth calling my greatest.”

old books: what’s one thing you don’t want your parents to know?

“Hmm…” She looks at the fire a moment as if it was more interesting then the question. “That I tried to kill myself. They would be disappointed. Even when I tried to reason that I was killing Garlean soldiers in the process. I know they would be disappointed in my choice. I am still disappointed in my choice.”

image

“I try to hide many things from my parents. I guess the biggest thing I don’t want them to know is that… I don’t care if the person I fall for is a man or a woman. I’m most concerned with who they are as a person. Not wealth or sex or anything of that sort. My parents still try to pair me with eligible ladies of their choice. I merely do what I can to escape from those pairings. I just keep waiting for the person I am going to love heart and soul. They only see it as I should be keeping the bloodline strong with a match of their choosing.”

image

“I…” Her ears droop against her head at the thought of her father. She shakes her head vigorously before crossing her arms. Her expression having gone from melancholy to angry. “I don’t worry about what my pops thinks anymore. I quit worrying the day I ran away. So even if he found out it won’t matter. So why bother.”

11:11: name three wishes and why you wish for them for Destiney

“Three wishes? Too bad such things do not exist. Though I will humor you an pick three things. However… I think I will avoid any involving things already passed. I’ve come to realize I sort of like where I am in life. If I changed the past I might not be where I am now.” A soft smile and shrug of her shoulders as she makes herself comfortable on the sofa near the fire inside her house.

“First I would pick… Hmm. Okay so staying away from past things is harder then I thought now that I think about it… Ah! A library all of my own. Between my house and my room at the Order I am about out of space for more books. For a second…” She frowns an bites her lower lip while thinking of an answer. “Okay this might seem corny but happiness for those I care about. Especially Nate. He’s become someone very important to me an I wish I could fix things for him. So I guess my third wish could directly be a wish for Nate. The second could be for everyone else. Yes that seems simpler. Especially since Nate’s problem is more complicated.”
